Boredom Rx

It's late afternoon, early evening. The kids, for once, have done all of their homework, laid their clothes out for the next day and are BORED. You've sworn off TV during the week (I know, call me a glutton for self-punishment)...you can't face the thought of another board game, Polly Pockets session, or Hannah Montana "concert" in the living room. I've got an answer, darlings - YOUTUBE! That's right, go YouTube'ing with your little one (just make sure your search terms are VERY specific and that you have a trigger-finger on that mouse, just in case). Start by searching "Very Excited Pug" (I know it sounds double-entendre-ish, but it's not!). Good clean fun! For your first round, stick with doggies - crazy chihuahuas, swimming dachshunds, etc. Next time, try the babies laughing category. Burns up an easy half-hour and then it will be time for dinner, baths and BEDTIME!!!!!!!!!
